Scrap Car Removal Steveston, Richmond BC
Scrap car removal in Steveston, Richmond BC: we pick up old, wrecked or dead vehicles from your driveway, carport, back lane or lot and haul them away, even if they don't roll.

Scrap car removal in Steveston, in short
- We remove scrap cars in any condition: no engine, flat tires, no keys, sitting for years.
- Have the ownership ready, take your plates off and clear out your things. We handle the loading.
- Return the plates and cancel the insurance through your broker. ICBC says the sooner you cancel, the more you may get back.
Scrap car removal from Steveston driveways and lanes
Every Steveston street has one. The old sedan on the side of a house in London/Princess, the van that hasn't moved since the last ICBC renewal, the project car in a carport near BC Packers that never got finished. Lots in Steveston are tight, and a dead car takes up a parking spot you could use. We back in with a flatbed, winch it out of wherever it sits and take it away. If it might still be worth fixing, car towing to a mechanic is the cheaper first step.
We also clear vehicles out of the yards in the Trites Area and from work lots around the harbour, including old work trucks that need our heavy duty towing truck. Old motorcycles and scooters are fine too; they go on the same flatbed we use for motorcycle towing.

Getting your car ready for scrap car removal in Steveston
A few minutes of prep makes the pickup quick. This checklist covers what ICBC and common sense ask for. Questions about paperwork? Ask us and we'll walk you through it.
| Before pickup | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Find the ownership (registration) | It shows the car is yours to scrap |
| Take off the licence plates | Plates are tied to your insurance, and you need them to cancel it |
| Clear out the glovebox, trunk and door pockets | Once it is gone, it is gone |
| Remove toll or parking transponders | So nobody gets billed for a car you no longer have |
| Tell us about flat tires or a missing wheel | So we bring the right gear to load it |
Then take the plates to your Autoplan broker. ICBC's page on cancelling your insurance says any refund depends on the time left on your policy and some fees, and that the sooner you cancel, the more you may get back. If the car just needs a boost to move it for the pickup, our roadside assistance can help.
